Luxury executive search in New York — board and C-suite appointments for America’s luxury capital.
Retained, founder-led luxury executive search serving luxury brands, UHNW families, private offices and PE operating partners across the United States. London-based. Global delivery.
Why New York
New York is the commercial centre of the American luxury market and the gateway for European maisons expanding into the United States. The headquarters or US operations of Tiffany, Estée Lauder, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Coach, Kate Spade and Calvin Klein sit alongside the American offices of LVMH, Kering and Richemont houses.
For UHNW families and family offices based on the East Coast, New York is where luxury investment, art advisory, philanthropy and private wealth management intersect. The city’s concentration of PE firms — L Catterton, Bain Capital, Permira, Advent — drives continuous demand for luxury executive talent to lead portfolio companies.
We deliver luxury executive search across the United States from our London base, with deep personal relationships spanning New York, Los Angeles, Miami and the broader US luxury ecosystem. Our founder has completed placements in New York for luxury maisons, PE-backed brands and UHNW-backed ventures.

Why US clients choose a London-based luxury search firm
The global luxury executive talent pool is not centred in New York — it is distributed across London, Paris, Milan, Hong Kong and Dubai. A New York-based generalist firm maps the local market. A London-based luxury specialist maps the global market and identifies candidates that US firms cannot access.
Our founder’s twenty-year network spans every major luxury market. For a US PE firm acquiring a European luxury brand, or a UHNW family launching a luxury venture in the United States, this cross-border access is the defining advantage.
Founder-led delivery. No delegation. No off-limits conflicts. Shortlist within 6–8 weeks. 12-month guarantee.
